Centurion 4987 ユーザーズマニュアル

The generator should be started at least once every seven days

and be allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done

and you must store the unit for more than 30 days, use the

following information as a guide to prepare it for storage.

 

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during

storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels

(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which

leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in 

storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied

before storage of 30 days or longer, as follows:
• Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.

 

•  Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.
•  While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with

recommended grade.

• Remove spark plugs and pour about 1/2 ounce 

(15 ml) of engine oil into the cylinders. Cover spark plug hole

with rag.  Press the “Start” button and allow engine to crank

for 2 seconds.  Then press the “Stop” button.

•  Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect spark plug

wires.

•  Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air

slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

•  Store the unit in a clean, dry place.

•  Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
•  Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust

and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems with the

carburetor and fuel system.

•  If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give

protection from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE
FUEL TANK.

•  If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be

stored for some time, use a commercially available fuel

stabilizer added to the gasoline to increase the life of the

gasoline.

•  Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does not

retain moisture.
